No one wants to mother more vigilantly than a woman who is childless and wishes she wasn’t.
Elizabeth Berg
It's amazing how smart the body is. Though maybe we could do without loving. I think it's overrated, and I think it's too hard. You should only love your children that is necessary, because otherwise you might kill them. But to love a man? It's overrated, and it's too hard and I will never, ever do it again.
Elizabeth Berg
